I appreciate everyone's needs are different, but not everyone could afford to pay for the setup you have.
Wasn't making a comment on the price just the fact that the KW is not the best correcting 318. Neither are the penskes. There are a few members on here who have spent north of 8k on suspensions. It's all about what you want. After putting 10k on a set of BC I would not buy them again. The ride is eh and the valving is not as good as a factory suspension

Yea you're correct......I should have worded that differently. But it is all about preference.

Not to discourage you but I was on Accuair when I had my IS250 and I don't ever think about going back. It was the most expensive and biggest headache mod I have ever had - from purchasing the kit from the vendor to finally selling it. If you decide to get it, make sure you are able to troubleshoot any problems yourself or have a reputable installer in your area.

I think you might have out grown them
Suspension is something you can only appreciate if you grow with it, in capability and attention to feedback.

Your prob right mike, I think I have outgrown them but after doing it wish I started at higher end setup. Bc is a great budget coilover but it's nothing more than that. I don't think I would ever try any type of air ride. I would like to ride in a car with KW for an extended period of time, also I would like to see how the HKS hypermax 4 ride as they claim to be a comfortable ride. I'm very excited for some warmer weather to really get out and push the penskes. I'm sure it will take me a bit to get them dialed in to my liking but I'm hoping they inspire a lot more confidence at speed in the turns.
